Status:	XMPP for power users and digital masochists
Location:	http://github.com/bqv/weechat-xmpp
Version:	0.1.1
Disclaimer:	I'm lazy and unashamedly clinically insane

Description

A weechat plugin in C to extend the chat client to support XMPP and a currently minimal but ideally maximal set of XEPs. I'm gonna rewrite this in C++ at some point when I have a feel for the full behaviour of an average client.

Usage

1. Start with /xmpp add, use /help xmpp for instructions.
2. Use /xmpp connect <account-name> with the name set at add-time.

Installing

Place xmpp.so in the appropriate place for weechat plugins.

Dependencies

• libstrophe (dynamic, dependency)
• libxml2 (dynamic, dependency)
• libsignal-protocol-c (dynamic, dependency)
• rnp (dynamic, dependency)
• weechat (>= v3.0)

.. or just use the guix spec in .envrc

Building

git clone git://github.com/bqv/weechat-xmpp.git
cd weechat-xmpp
git submodule update --init --recursive
make
make install

Do NOT run make install as root, it installs the plugin to your local weechat plugins directory

Development

I use emacs for development of this, although I am also a fan of vim. My debug build process involves static analysis with clang and cppcheck, and dynamic analysis with address-sanitizer and leak-sanitizer. My debug evaluation process involves gdb/mi run with the arguments -ex "handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass" --args weechat -a 2>asan.log since part of weechat and it's default plugins use SIGPIPE as control.

I have no real requests for style of pull requests besides a wish that you keep vaguely to the indentation style I use for this project.

Happy coding!
